Re: Alternative UI for changing time and timezone



Hej

The time of the photos do seem to be popular for the moment :)

I have just finished my new enhancement of the patch Gabriel wrote.
For a GUI teasing, check
http://www.thuree.com:8080/bt/testing/F-Spot-ChangeTime.jpg
I put the patch attached to http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=302567

I have not implemented any timezone information yet, since this issue
needs to be resolved. As Mattias stated, as well as Larry, we need a
TimeZone information for each photo. And this should preferably also be
stored in the EXIF/XMP/IPTC data of the photo. Together with information
if the EXIF timestamp is in UTC or local time.

But, as we do not have any timezone information yet...
